LOVE this!!! Count me in!
Where is everyone? We started out so well!!
Lavender giggled when Harold went for the catnip. How the sloth could possibly think he was going to get away with anything...
She heard Mitzi and Karen talk about Mitzi's toys, and making friends and suddenly realised the two other girls were as nervous as she'd been.
"Oh good, I thought I was the only one. I must have at least four books in my bag, and my mobile is filled to the max with music and games." Lavender smiled, and looked out of the window. She caught a glimpse of her parents. Her mom had been crying, her dad had his arm around her. They seemed okay now, but Lavender knew this must be hard for them, too. She watched in silence as her parents turned and headed towards the wall that led back to the rest of the station.
Swallowing down a sudden surge of emotion, Lavender looked back at the other girls. She sighed and settled back down in her seat. "I love the thought of Hogwarts, but I sure am going to miss home. I've never been away for long." She turned to the cage holding her owl. April was still nibbling her owl treat. "Have all the owl treats you want, April. No chance of you getting fat with all the flying back and forth you'll be doing this year." Lavender rummaged through her bag and pulled out a big bag of sweets. "Speaking of treats, anyone want some? My mum must have been afraid I'd starve on the way!" she said, as she dumped the bag on the little table.

Lavender was a little bit taken aback by Karen's response. She wondered if she should apologize for asking, but settled for "Hello Karen! Nice to meet you. Elijah is a very fitting name for such a beautiful animal" instead. She was almost immediately distracted by Mitzi, anyway. That girl radiated positive energy. It was catching. Lavender smiled a huge smile. She liked that little ball of joy, and her silly pet.
Catching Mitzi's bewildered look, Lavender's smile faltered. She shrugged. "I was curious, is all. The head mistress only mentioned cats and owls, I think, so I guess I just wasn't prepared for a sloth. Muggles don't keep them as pets, anyway. I've only seen them in the zoo, or on the telly. I think he's cute, though. And way better than a turtle. Oh and I don't have a middle name, either."
Blushing, thinking she'd given enough personal information, Lavender sank back into her seat. She watched Mitzi as she dug through her stuff and smiled again.

"Hi Mitzi, Hello Harold. My name is Lavender, and this is April. Thanks for having us!"
Lavender sat down near Mitzi and put the birdcage on the seat next to her. The owl was restless, but Lavender wasn't sure if it would be okay to let her out.
"I don't think I caught your name?" She said to the girl who had spoken first. Without pause she turned to Mitzi and continued "Is that a sloth? That's an unusual pet, isn't it? I love his hat! It goes well with your dress."
Finally pausing to draw breath, Lavender looked around the compartment and stole a few glances at the other girl. She liked Mitzi. With her faded stockings and knitted dress she somehow seemed more real than the pretty, elegant girl she'd been sharing a compartment with. Hard to believe that someone so composed could be a first years, but she looked too young to be anything else.
April gave a screech as a compartment door opened and closed somewhere near them, and Lavender rummaged through her bag. She emerged victorious, shaking a box of owl treats in her hand. She handed April a treat through the bars of the cage, and the bird accepted it with her beak. Settling on the branch, April transferred the treat to her left claw and began nibbling it. Lavender smiled and wondered what would happen next.
